    Re: 8bitdo SNES SFC30 Issues

    Hello all,
    I'm excited to join this amazing online community (just recently got started with my raspberry pi 3)!

    I apologize in advance if this sounds like a broken record, but I'm having the same issue of the controller working in the emulation station but not the emulators themselves.

    steps I've tried:

    • added udev rule for 8bitdo
    • changed to background boot mode
    • tried right trigger + start (didn't work)
    • turned off hack
    • upgraded controller firmware from 2.70 to I believe 2.71 (?) from the 8bitdo website
    • read / re-read the github instructions
    • searched the retropie forums (first four pages, couldn't find a specific solution in any of the threads)

    Is there a way for me to manually edit the controller config file?

    I am trying to figure out my retropie version (my best guess after I typed git show is commit a602876c6d7b99203d1135029eaf4f89e7ab4082 , or update to v1.5.0)

    Thank you in advance - once this is fully set up, commence childhood memories!

      @boxedwine after toggle the 8bitdo hack you need to configure input for your 8bitdo in emulationstation again.
